America is now an adversary.

If we like it or not, the #US has gone from being a, not perfect, but valuable ally, to being an unpredictable, threatening #adversary.
#Threats of #sanctions, #tariffs, election #interference and even #military force had us reassessing our stance towards the US and from my own perspective, I'm seeing more and more people in charge realizing that the US have now become a danger to our democratic stability, independence, progress, and wealth.

I hope, that going forward, Europe will start building US-independent infrastructure, an independent military, and stable policies that prevent foreign interference from (wanna-be) dictators and especially fascists. There is a huge lesson to be learned here for everyone who hadn't before. If we let the rich govern our states or give populists and radical to extremist forces any power, they will try to dismantle a stable state for either their own gain or for a certain ideology they wanna push by force.
Looking over to the US, we must not make the same mistakes and make absolutely sure, that our checks and balances, especially the judicial branch, are safe from (foreign) interference and extremist power grabs.

Now that this is out there,

thanks for listening to my TED talk, have a nice day, take good care of yourself and spread some love to the people around you :)

2024DEC07 “Fact Sheet: DoD Strategy for countering unmanned systems”

“The rapid development and proliferation of unmanned systems is changing the character of conflict. To meet this challenge, the Department of Defense (DoD) has developed a #classified strategy to unify the Department’s approach to countering #adversary use of these systems that looks across domains, characteristics, missions, and timeframes.
The #strategy builds on other major #DoD initiatives, including the standup of the Joint Counter-Small #UAS Office, the establishment of a Warfighter Senior Integration Group to meet urgent operational needs, and the launch of the #Replicator2 initiative to #defend against the threats of small aerial systems at our most critical installations and force concentrations.”

A classified strategy 🧐

US senators urge investigation into Musk

Senators argued #Musk’s involvement in #SpaceX programs should be reviewed for potential debarment & exclusion due to the alleged contacts. Debarment would bar him from certain contracts and privileges.

Relationships between well-known US #adversary & Musk, beneficiary of billions in US govt funding, is serious risk regarding #Musk’s reliability as contractor & #SecurityClearance holder

This Man Owns The World’s Most Advanced Private Air Force After Buying 46 F/A-18 Hornets

Don Kirlin imported his first foreign military jet, an L-39 Albatross, in 1994,
at a time when doing so was an extremely complex and convoluted affair full of pitfalls and unknowns.

Since then, he has repeated the process dozens of times over and was the first owner of a private MiG-29 Fulcrum in the United States,
among a long list of other exotic flying firsts.

He now holds eight licenses with the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), allowing him to own military machine guns and cannons,
as well as thousands of rounds of ammunition to fire through them. 


He was also one of the early pioneers of the then-fledgling, if not wholly experimental,
#adversary #air #support market.

In the early 2000s, he joined forces with the Airborne Tactical Advantage Company (ATAC),
which was blazing a trail with their contracts with the Navy to supply fast jet targets and electronic warfare pod toting adversaries that mimic everything from enemy cruise missiles to fighters for Navy and Marine fighter aircraft and Navy surface combatants to train against.
